Having experienced growing up with limited resources living in a refugee camp in India, CCJM’s Anil Ahuja is leading a movement to design sustainable cities and systems that protect the people who live on it. Anil recently gave a presentation at TEDx Talks in Chicago. It was entitled “How one glass of water changed my life.” In this presentation he focuses on water as a component to a smart city. Please take a second to review the presentation.
